What is Forensic genetic genealogy: A profile of cases solved about?

This research undertakes a systematic review of cases cleared using forensic genetic genealogy (FGG) and has produced a dataset and annotated bibliography that can be used for further research. Data was collected to better understand the impact of FGG on a number of metrics relating to substantive, procedural, and distributive justice. FGG has been used primarily to clear cases involving serial and sexual violence against female and vulnerable victims, and in cases involving stranger victimizationcases that have traditionally been more difficult to clear. About 80% of victims were targeted for sexual violence, and about 28% belonged to social groups that are particularly vulnerable to criminal and sexual exploitation.

In the U.S., FGG investigations were primarily conducted in lower-income U.S. counties and were overrepresented in rural areas while being underused in the 50 largest metropolitan areas. The ten largest police departments in the U.S. cleared only 2% of cases and identified 5 suspects. The average time for FGG to c
